guofangandClaude Sonnet 5.5 1732ec39d0 Install Windows 11 from a disk image with --install-from-img
Reading the installation files through QEMU's emulated USB CD-ROM runs at a
few MB/s on macOS. --install-from-img FILE (or WIN11_VM_INSTALL_IMG) attaches
an installation disk image built by vm-images/build-windows-install-disk.sh as
an NVMe disk instead, which is read about 15 times faster. The image is
attached with snapshot=on because NVMe cannot report write protection and
Windows fails on a read-only volume.

Add windows11-arm64-install-speed.md with the analysis and measurements.
